I understand that if I open a business to the public, to remain viable I must cater to the whims of the public. Would I enjoy baking a cake with a swastika on it? No. Would I serve my clientele without bias? Bet your ass, just like these bigoted shit-stains should.
Equal rights for all means exactly that. If you wish to continue to be treated equally, you must treat others the same.
How would you feel, C_L, if an atheist baker refused to bake your wedding cake because you were a cathy-lick? These people are not discriminating against a cake. They're discriminating against other people.
As I've explained, refusing to bake a cake for a particular person because you don't like who they are, shouldn't be allowed. Refusing to bake a cake for an event or purpose you disagree with, should. So if I walked into a bakery and asked for a birthday cake for myself that said "happy birthday debora" and the baker happened to know I was catholic, he can't turn me away simply bc of who I am. But if I wanted a cake that said "Pro Life!" on it for a pro life fundraiser I was hosting, you can absolutely say no if you are against the pro life movement.

Because nothing can be worse than making a cake for a gay couple, right?
I think you're a closet bible bigot ...
Please explain.
I used the gay wedding cake example because that is precisely what this thread is about, and that is all. I never said "nothing is worse than making a gay wedding cake", neither is that remotely close to how I feel.
Please just read what it actually says. Don't "read between the lines" (whatever that means) incorrectly and then call me a nasty name.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
